Monetary motivation and eagerness to excel in a certain profession are the trails that the Tmajority follows. Mohammad Salman Abedini, who goes by the adopted moniker Romeo, has the grit to follow his dreams. The 28-year-old Iranian is gifted with a creative mind and is a versatile artist, fast making his name in painting, poetry, music and fi lmmaking. Born and brought up in Qatar, Romeo’s father is from Iran and his mother from India. He is at home in Persian, Hindi/Urdu, and English. His creative works speak volumes of his philosophy of life — Sufi sm. Recently Community caught up with Romeo to get to know more about the man and his art. Romeo is the name he was given by his class fellows when he was in a college in India. “They used to call me Romeo, maybe, because of my temperament and interest in creative activities. I used to take interest in subjects related to art more than other subjects like pure sciences.” His father works with a government organisation in Qatar.
